Testimonial

“We receive great support from the CATO Program in terms of studying for the CKE, SOA and UFE exams. We have the opportunity to attend all exam prep classes with one of the Big 4 accounting firms, and a Bell internal team of CAs that mentor us through this process and provide insightful tips to help us study. At the same time, working for the Internal Audit group during my first rotation has also allowed me to apply my knowledge and learn a lot about the business. The learning curve was steep but I think Bell is definitely an exciting place to work and I am fortunate to be part of a company that has undertaken so many amazing changes.”
